real selves

blouse - self made

blazer - zara (gift)

skirt - vintage

flats - peacocks

bag - no name
belt - peacocks

as i told you
i do silly jobs at fashion week
like zipping things up
hand sewing buttons
moving clothes here and there
matching it with right shoes
and all other kind of silliness
..
because none of what i do there is really important
my job makes me invisible
to all the 'real' workers in fashion
various vip wannabees, stylists, make up and hair artists, designers, models and other
and i absolutely love that
i always feel like some sort of sociologist
doing a research on human nature
'cause i get to see their real selves
..
if i would be introduced to those peeps
as a blogger
or an art historian
or even an archaeologist
they may look at me differently
and act differently
but.. i'm not introduced in any way
i'm just a girl moving clothes from here to there
and i'm invisible and therefore not important
so they drop the act
..
it's a funny thing
what a dash of fame can do to a human
and how swollen an ego can get
..

I can only imagine that there are some swollen egos prancing around - as well as some genuinely great people I'm sure! I love to people watch - very content to blend in with the wall and take it all in. I bet its fascinating. Do you have trouble keeping a running commentary/nature-show monologue from playing in your head? "Notice how the alpha-male checks to make sure there is an audience as he ties his bow...."

I work on a campus that combines a secondary school, a CEGEP (college) and a University; as a middle-aged woman, I am COMPLETELY INVISIBLE to all those under-21s and you would not BELIEVE the astounding shit I get to overhear. Because I'm completely invisible, apparently.

Although it's hard to imaging a situation in which you are not the brightest dish in the room!

under 21s are oblivious to anyone but themselves.. i also find them insanely annoying (mostly 'cause they are too loud, and have a total of 127 words in their vocabulary, 98 of them being curses), i can't imagine myself surrounded by under 21s all day long.. you deserve a medal, lady
